About Sonja Schön

My art expresses joy, a deep connection to nature, and respect for all forms of life. 

I invite you to engage in a visual dialogue and to advocate for an open, respectful society, empowerd and free from hate.

Each of my works is a deliberate choice for positive change and a contribution to a forward-looking world.

    Artistic Approach & Inspiration

    I am an artist, designer, and sustainability advocate. My work is a fusion of fine art, textile design, and sustainable fashion, inspired by literature, music, and nature.

  • Scissor
    Fine Art & Textile Design

    Discovering monotype printing during my studies at the Master School of Fashion and Design in Munich profoundly shaped my artistic practice. I intuitively blend painting and textile art, creating unique pieces that blur the lines between art and craft.

    Expertise & Sustainable Roots

    My commitment to sustainability originates from my childhood, where my father installed photovoltaic panels in the 90s and my mother prioritized reducing plastic waste. As a master tailor and costume designer with experience in renowned opera houses, I blend traditional craftsmanship with eco-conscious design. This lifelong mindset drives my artistic journey.
